Now the thing is, if it had stopped with the Vauxhall quad headlamp set up and possibly the autoplas window louvre it would have been ok.  Sadly some people are never sure when enough starts being too much.

And don't be too sure that it can't be topped, I have stopped being surprised at what is out there

It's quite possibly the greatest thing to have ever graced these hallowed pages. 

I'm sure we have had better/worse at some point, it's a shame that we don't have an archive thread (bit like the calendar one) to save the best/worst heaps in for posterity. I can remember some of Raymanboy's listings  (particularly the Rolls Royce thing) ok you'd need to save the description as well for his stuff for as while the pictures said a thousand words, his thousand words descriptions made no sense at all.

This has just had a massive price drop to £999. Really shows how the market has slumped and people are strapped for cash in my opinion. Anyway for £999 I don’t think you can buy a faster car. I wonder if the XJR number plate is included.

Shitting hell what a machine for a grand 

That rot on the rear door jam looks terminal unless you have welding skillz and time, but you could just run it till the end of it’s MOT and chop it for spares. I’m not one for private number plates but even I would be interested in the one that’s on there.

I would probably buy that car on the spot if some of my fleet had sold by now.

If you buy a brand new car can't you sort of request a particular reg if available?

Yes, as long as you pay for it. The DVLA cottoned on to the money making possibilities a long time ago. Although years back, before computerisation  it would just be a case of being in the right local vehicle registration office at the right time to get issued a nice* number. Although it is also strange how so many prestige car owners happened to be in the right place at the right time getting the number for their Bentley, etc. 

I'm trying to to remember the famous plate on a Morris Minor (three letters then 1). Loads of people have tried to buy the plate, but DVLA have decreed it non transferable so it stays with the car.

Back in the day dealers used to get a block of numbers and they could issue them as they liked until they needed more,  not so easy now I think, so the customer could look through the available numbers at the dealers and pick any one they wanted  if the dealer told them they could or they asked. Prior to that you could go into the local licensing office, well pre DVLA, and get a number if you were cheeky you could ask for a better (different)  one and you might get lucky. Most people were pleased to be able to get a new car and personalised number plates were not really a thing which is why low numbers 1-10 etc were on everyday cars.
